I want to create a grid, such that the color of the grid background changes according to the ColorCode column of data. I tried the following and few other workarounds, but couldn't figure out how to make the exact association:

$\begingroup$I want to connect the manipulate to this dataset, such that the color changes according to the color code and A3Grades as I slide performance$\endgroup$

$\begingroup$Are you imagining that moving the slider will alter the dataset or that it will only alter the visualization? If the former, change data from a variable to a function takes performance as an argument. If the latter, change color to accept performance as an argument. The latter is probably easier, something like color[performance_][row_] := ... and Manipulate[ data[{..., Map[color[performance]]} /* ...], {{performance, 1}, 1, 100}].$\endgroup$
